Shark Week may be winding down, but the Meg is only just getting started. Meg 2: The Trench lands in theaters on August 4, where Jason Statham will reprise his role as the daring rescue diver Jonas Taylor for another terrifying run-in with everyone's favorite prehistoric giant shark.
Based on Steve Alten's 1997 book Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror, The Meg was released in 2018 and went on to earn more than $530 million at the box office. Warner Bros. saw that audiences were still hungry for more and announced a sequel later that same year. And if fans eat up Meg 2 the same way, we could be seeing the next blockbuster sci-fi/horror franchise in the making.
